I made an open source directory for sharing projects

Ever wondered how to show off that something you just built? Look no further! Awesome Launch is meant to be a list of communities and forums you can share your projects to get feedback or your first users.

Anyone is free to contribute sites and resources. Hope you enjoy!

• Freshcode (spiritual successor to Freshmeat) <http://freshcode.club/>

I am more interested to find platforms where laymen share their pains about items they use.

Isn't that basically https://stackoverflow.com/ and/or https://serverfault.com/ ?

Isn’t that just a blog or podcast or even a YouTube channel. You might think I’m being funny, but this is the core purpose of the web—low friction/barriers to put your personal content on www. The low barrier platforms are YouTube and any of the social media apps when a *blogger use these to promote their content hosted anywhere they choose (for all the various reasons someone choose how they want to produce content)

Same, but I’m also scared of us nerds joining and telling them to just self compile/host/deploy/whatever

The world does not revolve around compilers and SDKs..I am talking about problems laymen face

The hard problem here is getting people to contribute with content. They have no incentive to share their pain points. Often they don't even know about what it is or how to describe it. You kinda have to do the leg work and diligence of talking to them and trying to pull that information from them, rather than them pushing to you. But I agree this is immensely important.

I am solving this by buidling https://huntlie.com

Users can give feedback for their product which can be used by others to decide which product in the same niche they want before trying every product and then finding out.

I am also trying to figure out ratings (Usability, Support, Value for money) for each product.

My dream is to create product that I don’t need to promote. I would like to have such market fit that people will search for product by them self.
